This reminds me of a discussion held almost a year ago.
Do have a look at:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/xsl-list/2001-07/msg01040.html
One can also use the string analog of the iter() function from FXSL in
order to build string of repeated patterns dynamically.
Your case seems quite simple -- you could use a static global
xsl:variable containing a known in advance maximum of dots and
manipulate it using the substring() function.
